About MeBlack chiffon sleeveless evening dress with bead decoration, displayed with black ostrich feather boa with silk tassels. The dress features beaded decoration in a very obvious Art Deco design, which was an extremely popular style during the 1920s, incorporating many geometric motifs.

Sheer lightweight fabrics were the favourite materials of the 1920s “bright young things". Often they were highlighted with light catching transparent beads or sequins tamboured on to the fabric in complex patterns.
